Setting Up - NetWare

Advantages	• High performance: up to 1 Mbyte/s
Limitations	• In bindery mode, this printing method requires a NetWare user licence for
	each Axis Network Print Server to file server link.
Remote Printer Mode	The Axis Network Print Server acts as Remote Printer for PSERVER.NLM running
	on the NetWare file server, or to a dedicated workstation running PSERVER.EXE.
	In this fashion, the Axis Network Print Server emulates a workstation running
	the NetWare remote printer software RPRINTER, or NPRINTER. This mode is
	only recommended for small networks where the number of NetWare user
	licences is a major issue.
Advantages	• NetWare user licences are not required.
Limitations	• Lower performance, typically 20 - 70 kbytes/s for NLM and higher network
	load.
Using Novell Utilities	After installing the Axis Network Print Server into the NetWare environment,
	you can manage your Axis Network Print Server, using either Novell’s NetWare
	Administrator, or PCONSOLE.
NetWare Administration	Some useful features provided by the NetWare Administrator are described in
	more detail below:
	Printer Status
	The Printer Status menu, detailed below, shows the status of an active print job
	serviced by an Axis Network Print Server network print server. It displays
	detailed information concerning the active job including, Print Queue, print job
	description, size of print file, percentage of job completed, etc. You can also
	abort or pause the print job from this menu.
